We conduct propaganda against barbarism and such scourges as bribery, and I trust you conduct it as well, but political enlightenment is not exhausted by this propaganda—it means practical results; it means teaching the people how to achieve this, and showing others such examples not as members of an executive committee, but as ordinary citizens who, being more politically enlightened than others, are able not only to rail against every kind of red tape—and this is widely disseminated among us—but to show how in practice this evil is overcome. This is a very difficult art, which cannot be solved without a general rise in culture, without making the worker-peasant masses more cultured than our present masses are! And it is to this task that I would like the Chief Political Enlightenment Administration to direct the greatest attention.

All that I have said I wish to summarize and draw practical conclusions from all the tasks standing before the provincial political enlightenment bodies.
